Blending Culture and Identity Through Guzheng

Chinese-Canadian guzheng master, Michelle Kwan, bridges Eastern and Western music with the sparkling sounds of the traditional ancient Chinese harp.  She talks about exploring her Asian Heritage, finding her voice, and growing into a deeper identity through the power of language and music.  She showcases one of her original accompaniments to the rock and roll song, Sweet Child of Mine, and lets listeners into the stories about collaboration, connecting, and dreaming along her musical journey.
